My car does not have an oil temperature gauge, so I have no idea what temps I have been running.
I have 75000 miles on the car, and the motor still pulls nicely (at least by the seat of my pants). I have the car serviced at my local Nissan dealership every 3000 miles or so.
I previously owned a 1987 300ZX (non turbo) that had over 100,000 miles and had absolutely no mechanical issues.
A few other questions I have:
Does installation of an oil cooler on the 370Z void the warranty?
Does the G37 have similar problems?

Thank you

I guess you could have your Nissan dealer do a factory install, no warranty issue there! But it ain't cheap.

I'd have to guess that an improper install could void a warranty, though. If you want to do a DIY, I recommend reading Modshack's DIY he posted here.

Not necessarily true! I questioned my dealer about installing the Nissan oil cooler and of course they said no problem. However when questioned on the warranty implications they were non-committal.

Same with my '04.5 Touring Coupe, Mag'; it's just too reliable to risk getting rid of it. You've certainly put mucho miles on your '06 Z, dude. My '04.5's only got 24k on it. Then, again, I live just 9.5k from work. So far, the only thing I've had to replace is the driver's side power window motor. Can't complain.

i'm quite disappointed i cant get to the top speed without hitting maximum oil (for me thats 126c) on the car. considering the temp was stable at normal speed before this, this is quite crap for a sports car. so instead of a normal speed limiter, us 370s got a speed limiter governed by temp.

just wondering, those of you who had 350Zs, did you have oil temp issues as well? (for those who installed an oil temp meter) or did u have an oem cooler to begin with??

anyone know how accurate the speedo is?

I've found that every car I have owned, quite a few, that each has some issue. I was willing to deal with some of those issues more than others.

My Z33 was blessed by the car gods and got the nod of approval to spank all trolls with Hyandais, Hondas, and Benz's.

I'm sure I just murdered the English language with that sentence.
